Bad news: My wife put an old car battery that I had lying around in the garage for a while in the trunk of my car. I knew she did this because she told me 'I'm going to put that battery in the car and take it down to NAPA'. I said, OK, go for it.
Weeks later, I throw my clubs in the trunk, didn't really look around in there, didn't notice anything awry.
Last week, Thursday night I go to the car to get out my bag and make sure everything is ready for my company golf outing the next day. Make sure I have enough balls/tees/glove/towel/etc. I open the trunk and something's not right. Weir smell, and there's a liquid in the 'all seasons' mat that is in the trunk.
Then it hits me....that's battery acid. The battery that my wife told me she was taking to NAPA never got removed from the trunk, tipped over, and leaked acid all over. My clubs are sitting in it. The acid basically ate away my Sun Mountain Four5 bag. Corroded the living hell out of any club that touched it which was all my irons. Driver, 3w, putter and 52º wedge are good.
TLDR: Wife spilled battery acid all over my bag/clubs, and my irons/wedges/bag are ruined.
Good news: I'm going to be buying a new set of irons! I want new wedges too.
What I had: MacGregor 'players' style forged cavity back with Nippon shafts. I don't remember the absolute specifics of them, but I bought them from a member here a while back. Really enjoyed them and liked the way they felt.
What should I get now? Irons I will buy factory built, wedges I'll probably build. I had Maltby before and liked them.
I'd like to stick to a players style cavity with a thin top line. I'd love to keep the Nippons as well, but I'm not sure how likely that is without getting them custom built. I'm fine with used or new, but want to keep the price out of 4 digit area for the iron set. 4-pw or 3-pw. I hate hybrids.
